will remain free from the following conditions

LimitationsNo implied warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose shall apply
except during the applicable periods of this
warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state or province to province. Some
states/provinces do not allow limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the
above limitations may not apply to you. For a complete description, refer to the article
“Limitations and Disclaimers” in this booklet.
Warranty PeriodThe warranty period is for a total of twelve (12)
years. There is no mileage/kilometer limitation.
The warranty begins with the date the vehicle is
sold/delivered to the first retail purchaser or put
into service, whichever occurs first.
Warranty RepairsUnder the terms of this warranty, only an
authorized Volvo retail facility will repair or replace,
at Volvo’s discretion, the affected body sheet
metal panels free of charge. Repairs will be made
within a reasonable period of time, during normal
business hours.
Corrosion Protection WarrantyShould any part of the bodywork of the vehicle be
perforated by rust corrosion, the panel(s) affected
by the perforation will be repaired or replaced
by any Volvo dealer or workshop authorized
by Volvo, completely free of charge, regardless
of any change in vehicle ownership. The term
“perforation” means hole that penetrates the
bodywork caused by corrosion from the inside
or underside as a result of faulty manufacture or
materials.
What Is Not Warranted• Exhaust system, driveline, steering, braking or
suspension components, bumpers, wheels,
wheel covers, and mirrors.

4 Volvo does not recommend the use of aftermarket long-life or durable paint protection coatings, some of which may claim to prevent pitting, fading, oxidation, etc. These coatings have not been tested by Volvo for
compatibility with your vehicle’s clear coat. Some of them may cause the clear coat to soften, crack, or cloud. Damage caused by application of aftermarket paint protection coatings will not be covered under your
vehicle’s paint warranty. Use only paint protection products approved by Volvo. Consult your Volvo retailer for additional information.
